1 2 3 4 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 7 8 SHERRI KELLERMAN, 9 11 For the Northern District of California United States District Court 10 12 13 14 Plaintiff, No. C 14-03680 WHA v. BAYER HEALTHCARE PHARMACEUTICALS INC; MERCK & CO., INC.; SCHERING CORPORATION; MCKESSON CORPORATION ORDER DENYING PRO HAC VICE APPLICATION OF ATTORNEY THOMAS CULLEN Defendant. / 15 16 The pro hac vice application of Attorney Thomas Cullen (Dkt. No. 55) is DENIED for 17 failing to comply with Civil Local Rule 11-3. The local rule requires that an applicant certify 18 that “he or she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the 19 highest court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar” (emphasis 20 added). Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it only 21 identifies the state of bar membership — such as “the bar of Texas” — is inadequate under the 22 local rule because it fails to identify a specific court (such as the Supreme Court of Texas). 23 While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed 24 until a corrected form is submitted. 25 26 IT IS SO ORDERED. 27 28 Dated: February 25, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
